The strange, dark, brooding atmosphere will stay with me for a long time. Gerard Woodward Death and mayhem in sleepy rural Suffolk ... Ridgard's evocation of landscape, of farming, its seasons, cruelties and epiphanies, is striking. Guardian With its drunken farmers and tongue-wagging wives, the rural Suffolk community of Ridgard's debut novel is privy to some outlandish goings-on.
